According to Sawyer Merritt on X, Nvidia and Uber announced an expanded partnership to deploy autonomous vehicles using Nvidia’s full‑stack Drive AV across 28 cities on four continents by 2028, starting in Los Angeles and San Francisco in H1 2027. As reported by Sawyer Merritt, the rollout plan suggests Uber will integrate Nvidia Drive AV into its ride‑hailing network, enabling scaled robotaxi operations with centralized perception, planning, and safety redundancy. According to Sawyer Merritt, the staged city launch timeline indicates a commercialization path that could lower driver cost per mile and increase trip liquidity in dense markets, creating new B2B opportunities for fleet operators and auto OEM partners that certify with Drive AV. As reported by Sawyer Merritt, targeting LA and SF first aligns with markets that have existing AV mapping and regulatory precedents, which could accelerate permitting, data collection, and Model-in-the-Loop validation for Nvidia’s software stack within Uber’s marketplace.
